What to do? With 1 GB or less RAMs, you have to use ReadyBoost! Too bad not all USB memory sticks is Vista compatible, they may be too slow to activate ReadyBoost, no worry, I will show you how to Force ReadyBoost even on slow memory stick, but you better go to get a 4 GB fast memory stick whenever possible!

How To Force ReadyBoost

Just plug in your memory stick, select the memory stick in your Windows explorer, right click and select "properties" menu, select "ReadyBoost" tab and check on the box "Stop retesting this device...". Now launch registry editor and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionEMDgmt, you should see few USB devices list, select one of them which represent the memory stick you want, change the "Device Status" to a value "2". If the "ReadSpeedKBs" and "WriteSpeedKBs" is below "1000" in hexadecimal, change to "1000".

Unplug your USB memory stick and re-plug again, you should be able to configure your USB for ReadyBoost! This is a cheap way to do, better than nothing. However, you really need a to get a faster drive.

Before you setup ReadyBoost, format your USB drive to the maximum allocation unit -> 64 Kbytes. Then change the hardware policies for this drive to "Optimize for performance". You can do that by right click and select "properties" menu on the drive, click on the "Hardware" tab then select the device and click "Properties" button. After properties Window launch, select "Polices" tab.

Restart your computer now, after boot into Windows, allow 5 ~ 10 minutes time for Superfetch to fully cache data into the memory stick.

After this setup or you have 2 GB RAM or more, the next trick you need to learn is how to properly schedule your start up processes, reassign priority to your start up programs and massively cut down your boot time and launch application faster.
